Central hospital of Abu Dhabi: Forty years of service to the community (1968-2008)
In 2008, the “Central Hospital” of Abu Dhabi closed, bringing to an end a long period of service to that community. The site was completely demolished, allowing room for further developments of Sheikh Khalifa Medical City. For 40 years, Abu Dhabi “Central Hospital” had been the main health center for the multi-ethnic community of Abu Dhabi. It was the seed for the local health care system, and its staff made significant health care and academic contributions, particularly in the field of nephrology, infectious disease, and emergency medicine. Its academic contributions were remarkable, relative to its modest facilities. This history note aims to commemorate the life and contributions of this small, yet pioneering, institution to the health services, medical education, and research in the capital of this new nation. It gives an opportunity to pay tribute to all those who served in it at any stage of their career.
